Drive Tribe video by Jethro B...
thierry:Guys,
i changed my order yesterday to get the "signature lights" from gen 2 ( xenon with 4 leds around the lenses).
i took PDLS as it is including then the black color into the lights. And it looks better with intense black metallic I. E chosen.
but now I m still doubting : would it be better to take the LED ? The full black one, though crazy expensive (2.7k), is looking too much black in my opinion.
but I still doubt ..... any advice ?
Kreso, I know you are fan of black as well, I m interested to get your opinion :-).
but you are obviously all welcomed to tell yours !
rgds,
You said you hardly drive at night . In that case I would go for the look of the .2 which is also a bonus because you save some cash . If LED, then I would do the full black .
Kreso : Was your GT3 flat black ? Was the problem the dirt ? I love flat black but only when super clean and polished . As I am not big into car washing I probably should never order that color for my car .....

And it hides all the shapes of the 911. I'd never go for black on a 911.
For the current GT3, if you have the chance, I'd go for PTS. It helps your car stand out in what will probably be a huge production run, and you can at least spec a color of your liking. The range of standard colors feels really limited to me...

Lars997:sfo:Are LED headlights lighter than Bi Xenons?
not lighter but they reach wider
I think he's referring to the weight.

I guess you are right.... I read "light....er" and wondered why not "brighter" 
LED should be lighter as the they don't need that starter Elco - but, hey, we are probably talking about 200 grams difference

sfo:would be interesting to see what the weight difference is
Not much probably...a few kilogram maybe, at max. In my opinion the LED lights are slightly heavier (control unit) but difference should be under 5 kg, probably much less. Ridiculous.

Porker:That's extremely impressive. Can't almost not be correct?
I don't know the track well enough to know if it was revised?

BjoernB:it just tells u how far the tiretechnology is compared to a couple of years ago - in one of the Reviews they spoke about the latest gen Cup 2 - so I would assume very much tailored to this car
You can bet - in the Sportauto review they point to the Cup2 tires used and indicate that they are good for nothing but a few fast laps on the track. Same as with the AMG GTR test. But then: I like if they use the same tires as on the GTR - at least we can then compare the published lap times again 
sfo:would be interesting to see what the weight difference is
Weight difference is identical to .1 for PDK and a few kilos lighter for Manual.

nberry:I don't know how he got back there with the roll bars but he did and he is there.
Kreso, Nick I am slowly coming around to the PCCB's but grey wheels always look dirty. On my .1GT3 after every drive I would clean them but they still looked dirty. I suspect that is why they made silver available.
Silver was available on the .1 as well as a no cost. I like the grey wheels because no need to clean after every drive. They simply become darker grey with dust.
There are supposedly ceramic coatings one can apply to wheels that makes brake dust easily wipe away - never tried it...

I had one of the early .1GT3's. I don't recall that silver was available. Had I known I would have certainly ordered them. That's the problem with early allocations. You miss out on some good options like being able to get deviated stitching starting in Nov and PTS in December. I could delay my allocation but none of this is all that important to me since I don't keep cars.

I agree. The palette of basic/option colours is dismal. For metallics it's entirely monochromatic aside from Sapphire and Graphite blues. So perfect for CH - don't even need the blues 
The dealer I spoke to reckoned the worldwide RS figure was over 7000, and the need to pay tor VW fines was a factor. Not sure non-RS production will be high though - seems people only want the RS now.
